Michael Judge, Dave Harold and
Anthony Hamilton all come
through thier respective
matches to reach the Crucible. Hawkins
defeated Andy Hicks 10-8
despite struggling to find his
form throughout the match and
indeed trailed 5-4 after the
first session. |

battled back however to knock in
breaks of 56 and 76 to take a 7-5
lead before Hicks responded with
runs of 64 and 70 to level the match
before Hawkins took the lead again
with 81. A 51 break put Hicks into
the lead once more but Hawkins
produced breaks of 60 and 44 to take
the match with Hicks just managing 1

with a 10-2 drubbing of Scotland's
Scott MacKenzie. Hamilton got off to
a good start going 3-0 ahead and
never looked back with breaks of 53,
63, 66 and 100 along the way.
Dave
Harold used to be a regular face at
the Crucible and has made it again
this year thanks to a 10-4 victory
over World Snooker's own Mike Dunn.
Harold came back from 4-3 down to
win 7 frames on the spin thanks to
breaks of 63, 66, 70 and 73 to
seal his place in the draw this
Tuesday. The win should now secure
Harold his Top 32 spot in the
rankings and give him a chance to
relax a bit for the rest of the
season starting in China later this
month.
